Best Perfectionists Poems

My writing gets wavy and I bet it would annoy some perfectionists out there.

I’m annoying but I don’t care right now.

They hate me, so I write about that too.

The tree outside is weird and funny and bouncy.

So I scribble a tree and the tree has...

Perfect love is perfection,
it is rare,
if such love exists at all
it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience
either receiving,
or giving.

Could this perfection of synergetic harmony and confluence
we have grown to love as love itself
become discovered in and through another
by anyone other than a person,
a...

Ain’t No Such Word

 Do you love the English language?
That uses words such as ain’t
Placed in a sentence, like a sandwich
Of the word, I’ve no complaint

There be those who will not use it
No such word as ain’t, they say
But this belief, I do refuse it
And...

Permit me if you will to speak of 
this great obscurity called love
I am not here to preach or feed 
your preconceived clichéd ideas 
of linguistic and rhythmic words 
live above and dove.
I am here to invoke what is 
already deeply embedded in the 
very...

Let’s be honest, I’m not that honest.
Be honest, 
Just this once.
Forget all the dilutions of grandeur,
The noise.
Eat it so hard in the teeth that your mouth has a voice.
Unclench your tongue just long enough to choke on your words…
Then swallow your words,

They were never your...

The perfection clause doesn’t apply,
Yet we struggle to be flawless.

Society demands perfectionism, 
But the perfect human ceases to exist.

We are all sinners in an imperfect world,
In a universe that is filled with faults.

Immorality is part of the individual,
A mind which consists of defects. 

Misdeeds will...

Quyted (to depart from) your arms is an urge I have held on to
Qwerty language got me typing away with you for no clue (reason)
Quenched in your disqualifying love affair 
Tired of being your nightmare twyer and your dream catcher afire
Tripping out because I puffed...

"Wise souls direct their energies positively while the unwise do the opposite"

"Love focuses on "equality" while rationality tends towards judgment"

"True truth is love while true lies are based on judgment and hatred"

"All idealists are not perfectionists neither are all perfectionists idealists"

“Music is a cascading waterfall...

We get so caught up in right and wrong, discussing it is this that will benefit us and that that will harm us, we get so caught up and tired and so very thoughtful on things that don’t even matter as much, we have to...

The Funeral of Tinapa,

Conference table littered with chicken and cockroach laps

A keg of palm wine descending from Adia Abo

Grabbers haggling on sharing formula
Emporiums rust and rats
Shopping mulls moaning
A banner of hypocrisies at the gate’ welcome to Tinapa’
Uniform of incompetence in the helm of decisions,

Tribal perfectionists...

that's a lot to take on such small shoulders, 
that burden to carry when you are not even that older....                         ...

Familiar victim dancing in the damp darkness
Seeker made, marked, miles of skin
Fashioned into the perfectionists puppet 
Tool, temptress, tornado
Fraudulent construction, masked self destruction, every mile mattered
Prison, power, machine
Dumpster of record
Entertainment, goddess on screen
Supporter, tyrant, jester in one
Pretty, pitiful, puppet of miles
Interpreted easily all or none
Oppressor...

why are people afraid
to think?
to make mistakes,
to be
wrong?

I thought we
were supposed to
learn
from our mistakes
and become better 
people.

in my math class
we are supposed
to work
alone
but we often 
consult each other
with our problems
because we don't 
want to be
wrong
we are all perfectionists
who don't want to be
wrong
for fear of loosing
what...

It’s hard being perfect.
Most folks aren’t you know.
People expect more from you.
You must go further than you want to go.

Perfectionists work much harder,
They can’t bear to waste time.
Sometimes, you just have to give in,
And let Life sing its own rhyme....

When two halves of two hearts
Match as a whole
Lips were made to fit
Your eyes are a reflection of yourself
You think the same thoughts
At exactly the same time
Share the same interests
Love the same movies
And songs
Enjoy the same food
Look at each other and both smile
Resemble each other...
